“Zack, I think your statement exemplifies a certain misunderstanding you have when considering Muslim cultural problems. You speak of "convincing the majority of the Muslim world....", but in their world a majority opinion is meaningless if the 1% minority will react by killing you.”

I think that is a problem in any culture (being killed, and such). Is this violent 1% unique Muslim culture, or do we all struggle with it to an extent? If yes, does this problem have to do with being Muslim, or perhaps being poor and uneducated (and human, of course) instead?

“There is another problem I had detected with that comment of Zach's but I think it is becoming quite a waste of time trying to converse with him. Note that he first says that "when given a choice [many Muslim women] prefer to uphold tradition." Others not. But then he makes the quiet assumption that the latter are in the majority and that it is just a matter of giving them the opportunity to choose. The West's way is the right way because he says it is, yet he is very much against what are a majority of believers, in one form or another, in the US. If people in the US are indeed free to choose, why haven't they chosen his way? His comment strikes me as a little self-serving.”

Have you fallen so low as to start shoving words into my mouth? Come now, Xavier, this is embarrassing. I make no “quiet assumptions”, but you do. I never said that the “West’s way is the right way” and I’ve certainly never declared myself to be “against what are a majority of believers in the U.S.” (We can pretend that’s a coherent sentence for now, to avoid getting distracted). Where are these shades coming from? Your own imagination, or self-projections?

Haha well, yes, I am arrogant enough to claim that what I say is what I meant to say. I know you, in your infinite wisdom, know what I think and what I truly mean to say, but alas…we can’t all have your gifts.

Silver's odds just jumped to 92% and 315 electoral votes. Intrade is at 68%. The London odds are 2/9 for Obama and 3 to 1 against Romney.My Presidential Election app showed a strong Virginia poll for Obama and believe it or not, North Carolina is back in play based on a poll that shows the state is dead even. It appears Keith's independents changed their minds and are breaking for the President.

It didn't take long...Philadelphia...Democrat thugs are already forcibly throwing out and fist fighting with GOP legally appointed polling inspectors so that they can't monitor the ballot stuffing operations of the black panthers and others who are intent on stealing the election...

"I voted this morning at my precinct located in Cincinnati (Hamilton County), OH. Interesting turnout -- 4 years ago, I waited in a long line, with a very volatile crowd of predominantly African American voters, a few of whom made some rather threatening remarks to me and a few other white voters in line.

This year was completely different. I arrived at 6:30 AM when the polls open to a short line of voters, very calm--no nastiness. I was voter #9 in the line--I believe 4 years ago I was voter #38. So, as you can see, turnout, at least to start, at my polling location, was about 1/4 of what it was 4 years ago.

Just a quick report to start the day, but based on what I saw this morning, I would say President Obama is in trouble. The light turnout in my precinct is not a good indicator."

"Just came back from the polling place in Willistown Township, PA 19355.

Got there at 7:00 a.m., was #48 in line to vote. Car load of 4 in front of me. One of the women was explaining to the other how to vote...Republican! She said they could mark every circle for individual Republicans or just the top straight Republican circle. This is quite different from four years ago when it was carloads of Obama voters that I witnessed. And this tells me these were 2 women who had not voted before, both over 40 years old. They were accompanied by 2 men also voting Republican. Good news."

So it seems that "Progressive" "Get Out The Vote" groups collect and sign people up to register, and then they remove all the GOP registrants and shred their registration documents....very nice. I wonder if these people are Christians...ummm...probably not. What do you think Jim H? Christians who try to do the "right" thing? Or humanists intent on their own version of what's right?

Do you think all of this breathless reporting is going to change anyone's minds. It's like Fox this morning showing a single "alleged" Black Panther at a single precinct in Pennsylvania. And the guy was simply walking around minding his own business. Contrast this with these "True the Vote" a-holes who plan to accost people they suspect of voter fraud.

The other thing to remember is that half of the battle ground vote has already been cast. And if you think you got a shot at Pennsylvania .... well good luck with that. While you whip yourself into a lather over information that can't possibly be accurate, I think I'll wait until after the polls close and the results start coming in. You should do the same.

I can't help myself. Too much good news happening. But tomorrow the battle really begins. Removing all the entrenched statists from positions of power in the bureaucracy. That will be Romney's biggest challenge. American business can't grow if its government is full of leftists who despise the free market and wealth creation. We have to give the average person hope of finding a job.

And you should support that...I mean, if there aren't any companies for college grads to go work for, then what do we need accounting professors for? A vote for Obama is a vote to put yourself out of a job.
